1 Analysis of Table Depicting Eligibility Requirements F, Restrictions on, Practice Befe the Federal District Courts Introduction How many federal district courts require lawyers practicing befe them to be members of the bar of the state in which the federal court sits? Although appearing as a simple straightfward inquiry at first glance, a comprehensive response entails consideration of a number of facts that quickly complicate the issue. Does the attney want permission to make unlimited appearances befe a federal district court representing any matter? Or does the attney only want permission to appear f one particular case? Is the attney a member in good sting of the bar of the state in which the district court is located any other state federal court? Does the attney reside in, is he she regularly employed in, regularly engaged in professional activities within the state within the district in which permission to appear is sought? Is the attney employed retained by a state federal government its agencies to represent them in a matter brought befe the district court in question? Depending upon which federal district court permission to practice befe is sought, some all of the above considerations may come into play in determining whether bar membership in the state in which the federal court sits is necessary. All ninety-four federal district courts specify in their local court rules who is eligible to practice befe the court any restrictions on this practice. While these rules vary considerably among the districts, a common framewk permits analysis meaningful comparisons. First, all federal district courts limit general permission to practice in all actions to members of the Bar of its court. Each district court specifies requirements f eligibility to apply f general admission to its Bar, which may may not include bar membership in the state in which the district court is located. Second, most districts have provisions allowing an attney who is not a member of that district s bar to make special appearances befe the court. The two most commonly provided are f pro hac vice appearances (permission to appear participate in a particular case), f appearances by an attney employed retained by the United States one of its agencies to represent the United States any agency thereof in a matter befe the court. Not all districts make these provisions, some districts have others. Further, almost all districts making these provisions also specify who is eligible to take advantage of them what types of restrictions on practice befe the court must be adhered to. The attached table displays the current rule in each federal district court. 1 It is patterned after the framewk outlined above, with separate columns f bar membership, pro hac vice appearances, appearances on behalf of the United States, a final column f other special appearances that do not require bar membership. In considering these categies in me detail, please note that the infmation in the table regarding eligibility f, restrictions on, practice befe the federal district courts has been obtained solely from the districts published local rules. Thus, it does not account f the possibility that a district may have actual practices procedures that differ from, supplement, the relevant local rule. 1 Marie Cdisco, Eligibility Requirement F, Restrictions On, Practice Befe the Federal District Courts () [hereinafter Practice Table].

2 Analysis of Practice Table November1995 Page 2 Requirements F Restrictions On Bar Member ship in the District Courts Every federal district court has a provision in its local rules listing criteria that an attney must possess to be eligible to apply f admission to that court s Bar. Fifty-five (59%) federal district courts limit membership in its Bar to attneys who are members of the bar of the state territial possession in which the district court is located. 2 A few of these districts require additional qualifications. F example, the Middle, Nthern Southern districts of Alabama require an attney to be admitted to practice befe the Supreme Court of Alabama reside in Alabama regularly engage in the practice of law in Alabama. The Nthern Southern Districts of Flida require an attney to be admitted to in good sting with the Flida Bar to receive a satisfacty sce on an examination approved by a committee established f that purpose. Eligibility requirements in the remaining thirty-nine districts vary considerably, but some of them do fall into a number of patterns, all of which qualify a broader pool of applicants f admission. Twenty-seven federal district courts have variations of rules that provide the attney two alternative paths to eligibility. One pattern requires an attney to be eligible to practice befe any U.S. Court, eligible to practice befe the highest court of any state, territy, insular possession of the U.S. 3 Another pattern requires an attney to be admitted to practice befe some specific all U.S. courts, admitted to practice befe the highest court of any state, the District of Columbia, territy insular possession of U.S. 4 A third pattern requires an attney to be a member of the bar of the state wherein the district is located, a member of the bar in either (1) a U.S. Court; 5 (2) any other state; 6 (3) some other combination. 7 The remaining twelve districts have provisions that are me restrictive because they do not allow f alternatives, but they are less restrictive than the 55 districts that only allow an attney one way to qualify f bar admission(member of bar of state wherein district court sits). F example, an attney must be eligible to practice law in any state the District of Columbia to be eligible f Bar membership in the Central, Nthern & Southern Districts of Illinois, the Eastern District of Tennessee, the District of Nebraska. The Eastern Western Districts of Arkansas require 2 M., N. & S.D. Ala., D. Alaska, C., E. & S.D. Cal., D. Colo., D. Del., D. D.C., M., N. & S.D. Fla., M., N. & S.D. Ga., D. Guam, D. Idaho, N. & S.D.

Consult the Practice Table f additional variations of rules that list a district s eligibility requirements f admission to its bar. In addition to eligibility requirements (which qualify an attney to apply f admission to a district court s Bar), districts also have administrative prerequisites that an attney must satisfy as a condition precedent to admission. As footnote number two in the Practice Table states, it does not list these additional requirements f each district. They can be found by consulting the local rule referenced in the local rule column of the table. Most districts require the attney to pay a prescribed admission fee; submit a petition application f admission suppted by (1) a certificate of good sting from the appropriate state district court(s), (2) an affidavit stating that the applicant is familiar with the district s local rules, rules of professional conduct ethics, the Federal Rules of Civil Criminal Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, (3) an affidavit attesting to freedom from any criminal conviction any pending past disciplinary action taken against the applicant by any court bar association in any jurisdiction, / (4) certificates from sponsing member(s) of the district s bar attesting to applicant s legal mal qualifications; swearing a prescribed oath (either befe the court by signing an oath card). In general, once an attney has been admitted to the Bar of a federal district court, he she has permission to make unlimited solo appearances befe that court as attney of recd f any type of action. However, depending upon whether the bar member resides / has an office within the district the state in which the district court sits, the district court may place restrictions upon bar members. F example, the Nthern District of Califnia requires a bar member, who does not maintain an office within Califnia, to designate local counsel who must be a member of the bar of the Nthern District of Califnia the state bar of Califnia, who must maintain an office within Califnia. 8 In the Eastern Western Districts of Kentucky, an attney who is not a resident of does not have an office within Kentucky must designate local counsel who must be a member of the bar of the respective district court reside in maintain an office in Kentucky, except f cases involving governmental entities. 9 Seventeen districts 10 (18%) require an attney who does not maintain a residence / an office within the district, state wherein the district sits, to designate associate with local counsel co-counsel. Consult the Practice Table relevant local rules f me detail concerning a designated co-counsel local counsel s scope of responsibility, the requirements that an attney must meet to be eligible f designation as local counsel cocounsel. A number of other districts have restrictions alerting attneys who reside / 8 F similar restrictions when a bar member does not maintain an office within the district state wherein the district sits, see the following districts in the Practice Table: D. Conn., N.D. Ill., W.D. Mo., S.D. N.Y., W.D. N.Y., D. Vt. 9 F similar restrictions when a bar member doesn t maintain an office residence within the district state wherein the district is located, see the following districts in the Practice Table: D. Guam, D. Me., D.N. Mar. I., E. & W.D. Okla., M.D. Tenn., N.D. Tex., D. Utah. 10 See districts referenced supra notes 8 & 9 examples provided in the accompanying text.

4 Analysis of Practice Table November1995 Page 4 maintain an office outside the district state wherein the district is located that the court may require association with local counsel co-counsel. 11 A few other uncommon restrictions on a bar member s right to practice deserve mention. Two districts (S.D. Fla. N.D. Ill.) require attneys who are members of the district s bar to be accompanied by an advis who is a member of the trial bar of the district (an attney who is a member of the district s Bar who has satisfied experience requirements), without whom the attney cannot appear as lead counsel in testimonial criminal proceedings. 12 The Eastern District of Michigan, although permitting any attney admitted in any state, the District of Columbia, any district court to be admitted to its Bar, requires designation of local counsel f service if the bar member is not an active member of state bar of Michigan. Requirements Restrictions f Pro hac vice Appearances Ninety federal district courts (96%) have provisions in their local rules permitting pro hac vice appearances, special permission to appear participate in a particular case. The four districts that do not provide f these special appearances (D. Ariz., E.D. Mich., W.D. Pa., & E.D. Wis.) have liberal eligibility criteria f bar membership allowing a broad range of attneys to qualify, thus almost eliminating the need f this provision. F example, the Western District of Wisconsin permits an attney licensed befe any United States Court the highest court in any state to apply f admission to the Bar, the Eastern District of Michigan grants admission privileges to an attney admitted in any state, District of Columbia, any United States District Court. Permission to appear pro hac vice must be granted by the district court upon motion application. With the exception of the District of New Mexico (if an attney associates with a member of the Bar of the District of New Mexico, then no pro hac vice petition is required), each district permitting pro hac vice appearances requires the applicant to submit a petition motion which may request the applicant to state under penalty of perjury the attney s residence office addresses, the courts the attney is admitted to practice befe the dates of admission, that the attney is in good sting eligible to practice befe such courts, that the attney is not currently suspended disbarred in any other court,, in some districts, whether the attney has made any other pro hac vice applications in the court within the preceding year. Similar to the eligibility criteria f bar membership, local rule provisions permitting pro hac vice appearances also list eligibility criteria an attney must possess to be eligible to apply. The majity of districts (67%) have very expansive provisions that permit attneys admitted to practice befe any, all some specific federal court the highest court of any state, territy, insular possession of the United States to be eligible to apply f permission to appear pro hac vice. 13 Some districts restrict pro hac vice appearances to attneys admitted befe the bar of 11 See following districts in Practice Table: D. Alaska, D. Ariz., S.D. Cal., S.D. Ill., N. & S. D. Ind., W.D. Mich., E. & W.D. Mo., D. Mont., D. Nev., D. N.M., W.D. Tex., E.D. Wis. 12 See S.D. Ohio f a similar provision requiring a bar member to practice with a trial attney. 13 See, e.g., N.D. Cal., S.D. Fla., D. Idaho, N.D. Ill., D. Kan., E., M. & W.D. La., D. Me., E. & S.D. N.Y., N.D. Ohio, W.D. Tenn., E.D. Va. Consult the Practice Table f additional examples.

5 Analysis of Practice Table November1995 Page 5 another federal district court, 14 to attneys admitted to practice befe the bar of the highest court in any state. 15 To limit pro hac vice appearances to attneys who do not reside practice within the district, state wherein the district court sits (truly visiting attneys), some districts (19 21% of districts with pro hac vice provisions) have negative eligibility criteria that an attney must not satisfy else the attney will be ineligible to apply f permission to make a pro hac vice appearance. F example, in the Central, Eastern Southern Districts of Califnia, an attney who resides in Califnia, is regularly employed in Califnia, regularly engages in business, professional other activities in Califnia is ineligible to apply f permission to appear befe the court pro hac vice. The District of Colado exempts attneys who are residents of the district. 16 These negative criteria are also used by some districts (45 50% of districts with pro hac vice provisions) to prevent attneys who are either members of the bar of that district court already who are eligible to become members from appearing pro hac vice. F example, the Southern District of Flida excludes applicants f pro hac vice appearances who have been admitted to the Bar of the Southern District of Flida; the Middle District of Gegia excludes members of the state bar of Gegia with residence office within Gegia; the District of Idaho excludes attneys who are eligible f Bar Membership in the District of Idaho. 17 If an attney is granted permission to appear befe a district court pro hac vice, the permission extends only to the particular case f which the applicant petitioned the court. In addition, the majity of districts (62 69% of the districts with provisions f pro hac vice appearances) require an attney admitted pro hac vice to associate with a member of that district s bar. 18 Further, if the attney resides maintains an office outside of the district state wherein the district is located, some districts require the attney to associate with designate as co-counsel a member of the district s bar who maintains a residence office within the district. 19 A few courts restrict pro hac vice appearances by limiting the number of such appearances permitted, warning applicants that pro hac vice appearances are the exception not the nm. F example, the Central District of Illinois only permits a pro hac vice appearance on one occasion; thereafter, the attney must secure admission to the Bar of the District. The District of the Virgin Isls limits pro hac vice appearances to no me than three in a calendar year. And if the District of Rhode Isl permits an attney who is an associate member of a firm to appear pro hac vice, then no other attney of that firm is allowed to appear pro hac vice within the same year. 14 See M.D. Fla., M. & S.D.

Md. 19 See, e.g., N. & S.D Cal., N. & S.D. Ind., M.D. Tenn., N.D. Tex.

6 Analysis of Practice Table November1995 Page 6 Requirements Restrictions f States The other maj exception to bar membership found in districts local rules is f appearances on behalf of the United States its agencies. Fifty-nine (63%) federal district courts permit this exception. In general, an attney who has been employed retained by the United States government, its agencies, to represent the government in any action in which the United States is a party is eligible to practice befe a district court under this exception. 20 Some districts have additional requirements f eligibility that make this exception me restrictive. F example, the Central District of Califnia requires an attney to be employed retained by the United States government, to be noteligible f bar membership pro hac vice admission, to be employed within Califnia, to be admitted to practice befe any United States Court any state court, to have applied to take the next State Bar of Califnia. 21 In contrast with requirements f pro hac vice appearances, in the majity of districts (47 80%) that provide an exception f attneys that appear on behalf of the United States, an attney who meets the eligibility requirements f this exception need not make a fmal motion/petition f permission to appear. Permission is conceded by the district when the attney appears representing the United States one of its agencies. However, eight districts require an attney representing the government to apply f receive permission to practice on behalf of the United States be fmally introduced to the court by a United States Attney. 22 Once admitted under this exception, attneys can represent the United States in any action befe the district, usually without the necessity of associating with local counsel. However, thirteen district courts require a non-local government attney admitted under this provision to either associate with the United States Attney f that particular district 23, designate as local counsel a member of that district s bar ( the bar of the state within which the district court is located) who has an office within the district. 24 Several district courts have provisions f other exceptions to the general rule requiring bar membership f practice befe the court. F example, the District Court f the District of Columbia permits a state Attney General that official s designee, who is a member in good sting of the bar of the highest court in any state any United States Court, to appear represent the state any agency thereof. The Southern District of Flida, the District of Guam, the Nthern Southern Districts of Illinois, the District of Maine, the Eastern District of 20 See, e.g., M., N. & S.D. Ala., E. & W.D. Ark., N.D. Cal.. 21 F other restrictive rules see E. & S.D. Cal., N.D. Ga., N.D. Ill., N. & S.D. Iowa, N. & W. D. N.Y., D. Vt. 22 C. & S.D. Cal., D. Haw., N.D. Ill., N. & S.D. Miss., D. Nev., N.D. N.Y., D.N. Mar. I., D. Or., D. Vt., D. Wyo. 23 D. Alaska, E. & W.D. Mich., W.D. Mo., D. N.J., D. N.D., D. V.I., D. Wyo. 24 N.D. Cal., N.D. Ill., E., N. & W. D. Okla., M.D. Tenn.

7 Analysis of Practice Table November1995 Page 7 Missouri also provide exceptions to bar membership f appearances on behalf of their respective state governments. In addition, the District Court f the District of Columbia permits attneys who are members of the D.C. Bar bar of any United States Court highest court of any state, to practice befe the court in any case hled without a fee on behalf of indigents. 25 Several districts have reciprocity provisions whereby they will admit (without fmal application) attneys who have been admitted to another federal district court, provided that the other district extend the same courtesy to bar members of the iginal district. F example, the Southern District of New Yk will admit members of the Bar of the Eastern District as long as members of the Southern District are admitted to the Eastern District without application. Both the Nthern Western Districts of New Yk will admit without fmal application members of the other three district courts within the state of New Yk. 26 The Eastern District of Tennessee has an extremely liberal reciprocity provision in which any attney admitted to practice in any other district court can practice in the Eastern District of Tennessee provided they are members in good sting of bar of the district court in which they reside. The District of New Jersey the District of the Virgin Isls have restrictive exceptions to bar membership f patent attneys. Conclusion The majity of federal district courts (59%) do require an attney to be a member of the bar of the state territial possession in which the district court sits, but only in der to be eligible f admittance to the district s bar. Each of the fifty-five districts with this restrictive eligibility requirement f bar membership have provisions f pro hac vice appearances. Thus, if an attney who does not belong to the bar of the state wherein the districts court sits wants to practice in one of these 55 districts, the scope of practice desired, f government attneys, the party being officially represented, are the two facts that will determine whether the attney will be able to practice in these districts. If the attney wants unlimited practice f any type of action, then he she will usually need to qualify f admission in that district court s bar, which means membership in the bar of the state wherein the district court sits. An attney who wants admission f one case possibly several cases a year, may be able to secure permission to appear befe the district pro hac vice. A problem may arise if an attney who resides in, is employed in, regularly practices law in a district, the state in which the district court is located, is not a member of the bar of that district state, wants to appear befe the federal district court pro hac vice. Some district courts (14) that require membership in the bar of the state wherein the district is located f bar membership have restrictions in their local rules preventing this. 27 The majity of district courts (37 67%) that require an attney to be a member of the bar of the state territial possession in which the district is located have provisions that permit appearances by attneys on behalf of the United States without fmal admission application to the district s bar. And all of the districts that do not explicitly provide an exception f attneys representing the United States any agency thereof, 28 have pro hac vice provisions. 25 See also D. Nev, E. & M.D. Pa. f exceptions to bar membership f legal services attneys. 26 See also W.D. N.C., E. N. & W. D. Okla. f additional examples of reciprocity provisions. 27 C., E., & S.D. Cal., D.

Most districts have additional administrative prerequisites that an attney must satisfy befe being admitted. These include but are not limited to: payment of a prescribed admission fee; submission of a certificate of good sting from the appropriate state district court; submission of an application/petition f admission on which attney must state full name, residence business address, names of courts befe which applicant is admitted to practice with dates of admission, infmation regarding conviction of any crime any disciplinary action taken against the applicant by any court bar association in any of the jurisdictions courts befe which the applicant has practiced; an der of admission from a district judge within the district (by impetus of an al written motion by a member of the district s bar on the court s own motion); obtaining affidavit(s) by sponsing member(s) of Bar of the district court attesting to the applicants good mal character; certifying familiarity with the District s local rules(civil criminal), rules of professional conduct ethics, Fed.

It is within the district judge s discretion whether to issue an der permitting denying such a request. In addition, most district s require submission of a pro hac vice application stating under penalty of perjury the attney s residence office addresses, what court(s) the attney has been admitted to practice in the date(s) of admission, that the attney is in good sting eligible to practice befe said court(s), that the attney is not currently suspended disbarred in any other court, whether the attney made any pro hac vice application in the court within preceding year. Payment of a determined admission fee is also generally required to be submitted with a pro hac vice application/petition. 4 If a district s local rules have a provision f special appearances on behalf of the United States its agencies, an attney (in most districts) who meets the eligibility requirements f this exception provided in the rule need not make a fmal request f special admission to appear befe the district court (contrary to pro hac vice appearances).
